Hegseth Vows to Restore 'War-Fighting Mentality' Amid Heated Confirmation | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

After weeks of meetings, statements and posturing, the Senate Armed Services Committee finally got to hear directly from Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump's nominee to be Defense Secretary. The former Fox TV host is the first of Trump's cabinet nominations to face a confirmation hearing. Pete Hegseth walked into the hearing amid applause and chants of "keep us safe" but the love was short-lived, at least among Democratic Senators on the Armed Services Committee. They immediately hammered Hegseth over allegations of sexual harassment, rape, public drunkenness and financial mismanagement. Hegseth began the hearing, saying he wants to bring back the war-fighting mentality to the US military.
